7:artwork name='..\..\data\gotcha.bmp' align=center.
8:p.&progname. is a small (well, not :hp1.that:ehp1. small any more) utility for
9OS/2 which allows you to easily capture windows, window interiors, parts of the
10screen or the whole desktop and save them to disk or clipboard. Many image
11formats are available. Installation of Heiko Nitzsche's
12:link refid=GBM reftype=fn.GBM.dll:elink. is now required to generate these
13images.
14
15:p.&progname. comes in 2 versions&colon. the original on-screen
16:link refid=mainwin reftype=hd.&progname.:elink. and
17:link refid=gotquiet reftype=hd.&quiet.:elink., a version that runs in the
18background, captures the Print Screen key combinations and does a capture based
19on your preferences. Unless otherwise noted feature apply to both
20:link refid=mainwin reftype=hd.&progname.:elink. and
21:link refid=gotquiet reftype=hd.&quiet.:elink..
22
23:p.&progname. also has features for automatic capture every "n" seconds and for
24capture of the whole screen and then exiting (for commandline scripts e.g.).
25
26:p.&progname. was originally written mainly because all other screen capture
27programs for OS/2 found by the original author were either really old, not free,
28buggy and/or part of a larger program.
29
30:p.:hp2.What's new?:ehp2.
31
32:p.You may want to check out the :link refid=history reftype=hd.version
33history:elink. to see what features have been added in the various releases.
34
35:p.If there are more things that you would like to see in the program,
36send your comments about what you would like to have. Send your comment
37to the user mail list or submit a ticket. You will find the contact details

51:h1 id=windows res=2000.The &progname. windows
52:p.This section shows you the functionality of the various windows
53and how to use them.
54:ul compact.
55:li.:link refid=mainwin reftype=hd.Main window:elink.
56:li.:link refid=settings reftype=hd.Settings window:elink.
57:li.:link refid=snapshot reftype=hd.Snapshot window:elink.

59
60:h2 id=mainwin res=2.The main window
61:p.Though &progname. is pretty simple to use, We'll write a short
62description for each control&colon.
63
64:dl break=all tsize=5.
65:dt.:hp2.Save image to:ehp2.
66:dd.Here you can select where you want to store the captured image. To copy the
67image to the clipboard for pasting into other applications' documents select
68"Clipboard". If you want to write the image to a file to disk, select "File".
69Easy, isn't it? &colon.-)
70
71:p.If you selected "Prompt for filename" in the :link refid=settings1
72reftype=hd.settings notebook:elink., a file dialog will appear after the
73capture occurs where you can select or enter the filename the image should be
74saved as. If you activated "Autosave to numbered files", the filename will be
75determined automatically. &progname. will try to include some information about
76what was captured as part of the name. If you selected "Force saving to file
77(&progname. only)", the image will always be written to exactly the file you
78specified there (even if you selected "Clipboard" here).
79
80:dt.:hp2.Options:ehp2.
81:dd.Check "Hide &progname." (&progname. only) if you want the &progname.
82window to disappear from the screen before the capture starts. Useful if
83you want to capture a maximized window, or the full screen without &progname.
84or something under &progname..
85
86:p. Check "Don't reshow" (&quiet. only) if you don't want &quiet.&apos.s
87settings notebook to reopen after the capture.
88
89:p.Check "Delayed capture" if you want &progname./&quiet. to wait "n" seconds
90(configurable in the :link refid=settings3 reftype=hd.settings notebook:elink.)
91after you start the capture. Useful, if you want to open menus e.g. that
92should be captured too. If you also selected "Use serial capture" in the
93:link refid=settings3 reftype=hd.settings notebook:elink., the "serial delay"
94will be used instead.
95
96:dt.:hp2.Capture:ehp2.
97:dd.Select one of the buttons (preferably the one that matches with your
98intended capture target).
99:p."Screen" will automatically capture the whole desktop.
100
101:p."Screen region" allows you to select an area of the screen with the
102mouse or the cursor keys; use them to move the capture area until its lower
103left corner is over the left lower corner of the region you want to capture, and press the
104mouse button or enter/return key. Size the rectangle by moving its upper
105right corner with the mouse or using the cursor keys. Press the mouse button or
106enter again to capture the selected region.
107
108:p."Window" will capture a whole window. Select the window with the mouse.
109It will rise to the surface and be captured.
110:p."Window interior" works similar, except that it captures only the inner region
111of the window (not titlebar, etc.).
112:p.To cancel a capture (&progname. only) (before it has started, e.g. during
113the "delayed capture" delay), just press the Escape key (the main window must
114have focus) or click the :link refid=snapshot reftype=hd.snapshot window:elink.
115(&progname. only) with the mouse.
116:dt.:hp2.Terminate &quiet. (&quiet. only):ehp2.
117
118:dd."Exit" This exits &quiet. The close button/menu item only close the
119settings notebook leaving &quiet. still running.
120
121:edl.
122
123:p.Selecting the "About" button or pressing "ALT+A" (&progname. only) opens a
124nice dialog containing information about the program.
125
126:p.Selecting the "Settings" button (&progname. only) opens the
127:link refid=settings reftype=hd.settings notebook:elink..
128
129:p.Selecting the "Help" button opens this file.
130
131:h2 id=settings res=4.The settings notebook
132:p.The settings notebook allows you to modify and adjust various things
133that modify the behavior of &progname./&quiet..
134
135:p.Selecting the "OK" pushbutton at the bottom of the window will close the
136settings and activate them. Selecting "Undo" will revert all your changes for
137the currently selected page of the notebook.
138
139:p.The settings notebook has the following pages&colon.
140:ul compact.
141:li.:link refid=settings1 reftype=hd.Save:elink.
142:li.:link refid=settings2 reftype=hd.Snapshot Window (&progname. only):elink.

149:h3 id=settings1 res=2210.The "Save" page
150:p.On this page you can set how the filename for the image capture save file
151will be determined, conditionally its name and location, and in what image
152format it should be saved.
153
154:dl break=all tsize=5.
155
156:dt.:hp2.Save type:ehp2.
157:dd.Here you may select how the filename for the captured image will be

162
163:p.Opens the Save file dialog after the capture, so you can select or enter the
164name of the file.
165
166:p.Note&colon. Several of the :link refid=cmdlineargs reftype=hd.command line
167arguments:elink. automatically change this setting.
168
169:li.:hp2.Autosave to numbered files in directory:ehp2.
170
171:p.This does not prompt you for a filename, but &progname./&quiet. will create
172one automatically of the form "tpxxxxxxxx??.ext" where "tp" is the capture type
173(SC = screen, SR = screen region, WD = Window, WI = Window interior),
174"xxxxxxxx" is the first 8 characters of the title of the window that has focus
175(or all the characters if it has less than 8) and "??" will be replaced by a
176unique number, that will increase with every saved file with the same prefix.
177The "ext" is replaced by the appropriate extension for the selected image
178format.
179
180:p.You must provide a valid directory in the entry field underneath to tell
181&progname./&quiet. where the files should be saved. It defaults to the
182&progname. install directory.
183
184:li.:hp2.Force saving to file (&progname. only):ehp2.
185
186:p.This will :hp1.always:ehp1. write the image to the file you give in the
187entry field underneath, even if you selected "Clipboard" in the "Save image to"
188group in the :link refid=mainwin reftype=hd.main window:elink.. If a file with
189that name already exists, it will be overwritten without further warning!
190
191:eul.
192
193:dt.:hp2.File format:ehp2.
194:dd.Here you may select the save file format.

198is done.
199
200:edl.
201
202:h3 id=settings2 res=3.The Snapshot page (&progname. only)
203:p.On this page you can adjust various settings for the :link
204refid=snapshot reftype=hd.snapshot window:elink..
205
206:dl break=all tsize=5.
207
208:dt.:hp2.Enable snapshot window:ehp2.
209:dd.This checkbox simply determines if you want to have the snapshot window
210or not.
211
212:dt.:hp2.Capture type:ehp2.
213:dd.Here you may select, what kind of capture should be done, when you
214click the snapshot window. These types are the same as the buttons in
215the :link refid=mainwin reftype=hd.main window:elink..
216
217:dt.:hp2.Options:ehp2.
218:dd.Some miscellaneous options&colon.
219
220:ul.
221:li.:hp2.Always on top of all windows:ehp2.
222:p.If you select this checkbox, the snapshot window will never be hidden
223behind other windows. It will always float above of them.
224
225:li.:hp2.Hide &progname. during capture:ehp2.
226
227:p.This is similar to the "Hide &progname." checkbox in the
228:link refid=mainwin reftype=hd.main window:elink.. When
229you select this checkbox, the snapshot window will be hidden before a
230capture and reappear afterwards.
231
232:eul.
233:edl.
234
235:h3 id=settings3 res=2230.The Capture Options page (&progname. only)
236:p.This page features "miscellaneous" options.
237
238:dl break=all tsize=5.
239
240:dt.:hp2.Delayed capture:ehp2.
241:dd.When you select the "Countdown timer with beeps" checkbox,
242&progname. will output a beep for every second of the :link refid=mainwin
243reftype=hd.delayed capture:elink. delay time. With the spinbutton below
244you can set, how many seconds &progname. should wait when you use
245"Delayed capture", before actually taking the capture.
246
247:dt.:hp2.Serial capture:ehp2.
248:dd.Using this option, you can have &progname. automatically take a capture
249every n seconds/20. Just select the checkbox and when you take a capture the
250next time, &progname. will not stop after the first capture is done. It will
251wait a number of seconds/20 (that you can adjust with the spinbutton below it)
252and then capture the screen/screen region/window again and again and again
253until you press the Escape key (the main window must have focus) or click the
254:link refid=snapshot reftype=hd.snapshot window:elink. (or, in case of a window
255[interior] capture, until the window to be captured has been closed).
256
257:p.:hp1.Note&colon.:ehp1. The amount of time it takes to make the actual
258capture and to write the image to disk is not included in this delay, as it
259depends heavily on your system and personal configuration. So if e.g. you want
260to make a capture every 10 seconds, but it takes 4 seconds to capture the
261screen and write the file, you must set the delay to 120 seconds/20 (6
262seconds).
263
264:p.The timer used is not really very accurate, especially on slow systems; you
265will need to experiment to find the settings that work best.
266
267:dt.:hp2.Use sound when capture finished:ehp2.
268:dd.Selecting this checkbox will cause &progname. to beep a few times
269when the capture is done.
270
271:dt.:hp2.Run &progname. at idle priority:ehp2.
272:dd.Selecting this checkbox will cause &progname. to be run at idle process
273priority.

283:dd.Here you may select, what kind of capture should be done, when you
284click the "Print Screen" key alone or in combination with Shift or Ctrl).
285These types are the same as the buttons in the
286:link refid=mainwin reftype=hd.main window:elink. (first page of the settings
287notebook).
288
289:dt.:hp2.Delayed capture:ehp2.
290
291:dd.When you select the "Countdown timer with beeps" checkbox, &progname. will
292output a beep for every second of the :link refid=mainwin reftype=hd.delayed
293capture:elink. delay time. With the spinbutton below you can set, how many
294seconds &progname. should wait when you use "Delayed capture", before actually
295taking the capture. This is useful if you wish to capture a window with a menu
296open (start the capture then open the menu during the delay).
297
298:dt.:hp2.Serial capture:ehp2.
299
300:dd.Using this option, you can have &progname. automatically take a capture
301every n seconds/20. Just select the checkbox and when you take a capture the
302next time, &progname. will not stop after the first capture is done, but wait a
303number of seconds/20 (that you can adjust with the spinbutton below it) and
304then capture the screen/screen region/window over and over again until you
305press the escape key (the main window must have focus) or click the :link
306refid=snapshot reftype=hd.snapshot window:elink. (or, in case of a window
307[interior] capture, until the window to be captured has been closed).
308
309:p.:hp1.Note&colon.:ehp1. The amount of time it takes to make the actual
310capture and to write the image to disk is not included in this delay, as it
311depends heavily on your system and personal configuration. So if e.g. you want
312to make a capture every 10 seconds, but it takes 4 seconds to capture the
313screen and write the file, you must set the delay to 120 seconds/20 (6
314seconds).

323
324:p.On this page you can select, what language to use (&progname. only).
325You may select any of the languages that are shown in the list. Initial
326language selection is based on the system language. The language of the
327help file is based on the program language and availability of help in that
328language. Help defaults to English where help in the selected language doesn't
329exist.
330
331:p.:hp1.Note&colon.:ehp1. If you select another language here, it will not
332change until you restart the program.
333
334:p.:hp1.Note&colon.:ehp1. Not all languages have been updated to be consistent
335with version 2.0 or higher. The others work with the updated interface but are
336partly in English.
337
338:p.:hp1.Note&colon.:ehp1. If you want to translate &progname. to another
339language, you are very welcome to do so! Please see :link refid=helpwanted

341
342:h2 id=snapshot res=2300.The Snapshot window (&progname. only)
343:p.This window provides a quick and easy way to take a capture, without
344the need to have the :link refid=mainwin reftype=hd.main window:elink.
345visible all of the time. Just click inside the snapshot window with the
346mouse (button 1) and &progname. will take a capture of the type you can
347select on the appropriate page in the :link refid=settings2
348reftype=hd.settings notebook:elink. (or from the context menu that pops up
349when you click this window with mouse button 2).

534:dd.So I actually *did* produce a new version of Gotcha! - though it
535is basically only a bugfix release.
536:ul compact.
537:li.Fixed one bug in savebmp.cpp, while building the file comment in
538SetEAs() the value given to ctime was just a time_t, not an &amp.time_t as

540that occurred?
541:li.Added missing list end tag in portbras.ipf
542:li.Got rid of two compiler warnings.
543:eul.
544
545:dt.:hp2.Version 1.75:ehp2.

547the bugs I wanted).
548:ul compact.
549:li.&progname. did not start, if OS/2 MMIO was not installed, because
550the library was not loaded at runtime, but still statically at program
551start. This is fixed now.
552:eul.
553
554:dt.:hp2.Version 1.73:ehp2.
555:dd.Actually I wanted the next version to be 2.0 but due to my lack of
556time it just took too long, so I decided to do this "intermediate release"
557to fix some bugs and implement one of the most requested features&colon.
558:ul compact.
559:li.&progname. is now free software under the GPL
560:li.Czech language support (program only).
561:li.Italian language support (program and part of the online help).
562:li.&progname. can now save images to many more formats if OS/2 Multimedia is
563installed.

577
578:dt.:hp2.Version 1.45:ehp2.
579:dd.More users' suggestions and more ideas of my own - and I hope less
580bugs &colon.-) This is what v1.45 offers&colon.
581:ul compact.
582:li.The length of the "delayed capture" delay is now configurable.
583:li.When waiting for the capture when using "delayed capture", you may
584have &progname. output a beep for every second. The countdown is also shown
585in the :link refid=snapshot reftype=hd.snapshot window:elink..
586:li."Serial capture" feature that allows you to automatically have &progname.
587make a capture every n seconds.
588:li.You may now select, if &progname. prompts you for a filename when saving
589or automatically saves to numbered files or always saves to a file you specify.
590:li.You may now tell &progname. to make a capture of the whole screen and then
591exit from the :link refid=cmdlineargs reftype=hd.commandline:elink..
592:li.You may now choose, in which of three available bitmap file formats the
593images should be saved. The code for saving has totally been re-written and
594the images should now load correctly everywhere.
595:li.&progname. now sets the correct file type extended attribute for all
596saved bitmaps.
597:li.You may now turn off the sound, that tells you that the capture is done.
598:li.A nice :link refid=settings reftype=hd.settings notebook:elink. for all
599these options.
600:li.The :link refid=snapshot reftype=hd.snapshot window:elink. allows
601quick and easy capturing without the need to have the main window visible
602all of the time.
603:eul.
604
605:dt.:hp2.Version 1.10:ehp2.
606:dd.Since there were some small bugs in v1.00 and users (as users are ;-)
607wanted several things added, v1.10 was released. Changes include&colon.
608:ul compact.
609:li.Added the "quiet mode" (See :link refid=cmdlineargs reftype=hd.command
610line arguments:elink. section for more info about this).
611:li.Fixed (hopefully ;-) the bug that caused &progname. to hang on some computers
612when trying to capture window (interiors).
613:li.Fixed (eventually ;-) the bug that prevented some programs (PMView e.g.) from
614loading bitmaps saved by &progname. correctly.
615:li.Fixed (presumably ;-) a bug that caused &progname. to save bitmaps with
61616 or 256 colors using only 2 colors (why do all the example programs that
617I have assume that all bitmaps just use 2 colors??).
618:li.Added an option to automatically add the "bmp" extension to the filename,
619if the user does not (want to) supply it.
620:li.Added an option to have &progname. confirm the overwriting of already
621existing files.
622:eul.
623
624:dt.:hp2.Version 1.00:ehp2.
625:dd.This was the first public version of &progname..

654
655:p.Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
656document, but changing it is not allowed.
657
658:p.
659.ce Preamble
660
661:p.The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
662share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
663guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
664software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most
665of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose
666authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
667covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
668your programs, too.
669
670:p.When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
671General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
672distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish),
673that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change
674the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you
675can do these things.
676
677:p.To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to
678deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions
679translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
680software, or if you modify it.
681
682:p.For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or
683for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must
684make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show
685them these terms so they know their rights.
686
687:p.We protect your rights with two steps&colon. (1) copyright the software, and
688(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
689distribute and/or modify the software.
690
691:p.Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
692everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the
693software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
694know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
695by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
696
697:p.Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We
698wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
699individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.
700To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for
701everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
702
703:p.The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
704modification follow.
705
706:p.
707.ce GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
708.ce TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
709
710:dl tsize=6 break=none.
711:dt.0.
712:dd.This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
713placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
714this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program
715or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
716derivative work under copyright law&colon. that is to say, a work containing
717the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
718translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
719limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
720
721:p.Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered
722by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is
723not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
724constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
725running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
726
727:dt.1.
728:dd.You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
729source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
730conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
731copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
732notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
733and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
734along with the Program.
735
736:p.You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
737you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
738
739:dt.2.
740:dd.You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it,
741thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such
742modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you
743also meet all of these conditions&colon.
744:dl tsize=3 break=none.
745:dt.a)
746:dd.You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
747you changed the files and the date of any change.
748
749:dt.b)
750:dd.You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in
751part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
752licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
753License.
754
755:dt.c)
756:dd.If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you
757must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most
758ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate
759copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that
760you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
761conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
762(Exception&colon. if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally
763print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to
764print an announcement.)
765:edl.
766
767:p.These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
768sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
769considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and
770its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
771works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a
772work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms
773of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
774whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
775
776:p.Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
777rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
778right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on
779the Program.
780
781:p.In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with
782the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
783distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
784License.
785
786:dt.3.
787:dd.You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
788Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and
7892 above provided that you also do one of the following&colon.
790
791:dl tsize=3 break=none.
792:dt.a)
793:dd.Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code,
794which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
795customarily used for software interchange; or,
796
797:dt.b)
798:dd.Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give
799any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing
800source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding
801source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
802medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
803
804:dt.c)
805:dd.Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
806distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for
807noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code
808or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
809:edl.
810
811:p.The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
812modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the
813source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
814definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation
815of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed
816need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
817binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
818operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
819accompanies the executable.
820
821:p.If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to
822copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
823source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even
824though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object
825code.
826
827:dt.4.
828:dd.You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
829expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
830sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
831your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
832rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
833long as such parties remain in full compliance.
834
835:dt.5.
836:dd.You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
837However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program
838or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not
839accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or
840any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to
841do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
842the Program or works based on it.
843
844:dt.6.
845:dd.Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
846the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
847copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
848You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the
849rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
850third parties to this License.
851
852:dt.7.
853:dd.If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
854infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions
855are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
856contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
857conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
858simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
859obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.
860For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution
861of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
862you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
863refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
864
865:p.If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
866particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and
867the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
868
869:p.It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents
870or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
871section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
872distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many
873people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
874distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
875system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
876distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
877choice.
878
879:p.This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
880consequence of the rest of this License.
881
882:dt.8.
883:dd.If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
884countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
885copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit
886geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
887distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such
888case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of
889this License.
890
891:dt.9.
892:dd.The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
893General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
894spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems
895or concerns.
896
897:p.Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
898specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later
899version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
900that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.
901If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may
902choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
903
904:dt.10.
905:dd.If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
906whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
907permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
908write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
909Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of
910all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
911software generally.
912.br
913.ce NO WARRANTY
914
915:dt.11.
916:dd.BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR
917THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
918STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
919PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
920INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
921FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
922PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
923ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
924
925:dt.12.
926:dd.IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
927ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
928PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
929GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
930INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
931BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
932FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
933OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

940.ce How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
941
942:p.If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible
943use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software

1038:p.Now that &progname. supports other languages, we of course want to include
1039as many as possible. The problem is that I, Gregg Young, only speak English. So
1040if anybody out there wants to translate &progname. to a new language or update
1041an existing language you are gladly welcome to do so!
1042
1043:p.The sources for the help file and program resources are in the SVN. For
1044existing languages just take the README_XX, *.rc and *.ipf files and sync them with the
1045English versions. For new languages simply start with the English versions. If
1046you have any questions or want me to send the files directly to you, feel free
1047to :link refid=author reftype=hd.contact me:elink.!
1048
1049:p.If you haven't got the time to do (or just don't feel like doing ;-) a
1050"full" translation (i.e. program and online help) please consider translating
1051the program resources (dialogs, menus, some messages). That alone would be a
1052great help.

1081whoever wrote it (there's no name given ...)
1082:li.As many of my programs, &progname. also uses a few lines of code (for
1083inserting items in the system menu) from :hp1.Richard Papo's:ehp1. excellent
1084"MemSize" system resource monitor. (You can find out more about MemSize at
